Remote Instrument/Interface Search Criteria
When searching for remote interfaces, Keysight software looks for instruments having the following elements in their remote instrument name or SICL interface ID:
- GPIB instruments/interfaces: gpib0, gpib1, gpib2, gpib3, hpib, hpib7, hpib8
- Serial instruments/interfaces: COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4
- VXI instruments/interfaces: vxi0, vxi1, vxi2, vxi3, vxi
- USB instruments/interfaces: usb0, usb1, usb2, usb3
Notes:
- The default search range is limited to commonly used values for performance reasons. Additional IDs can be manually added.
- Serial and USB remote instruments are only supported with the SICL-LAN protocol.
- The hpib, hpib7, hpib8, and vxi prefixes are only supported with the SICL-LAN protocol.
